Trapped with the CEO

Payne was furious with himself. He didn't care about his relationship with Colin, but he kicked himself for creating an opportunity for Sophia to marry Colin!

"The contract is screwed. What should we do?" Dorothy was still stunned by Colin. She couldn't understand how he could protect Sophia and even break Payne's arm! She needed to tell her father. Her father could talked to some of his connections, and maybe they could get Colin out of SL group.

Payne was still thinking about the contract. Now that it was in shreds, he had no choice but to stand still with the Lian Family.

"I'll talk to Sophia. Maybe she can talk some sense into Colin."

Dorothy glared at him. "Talk to Sophia?"

Payne normally admitted that he was the dumb one in their relationship. But now, Dorothy was acting like a fool. Was his stupidity contagious?

"Dear, didn't you see how Colin held Sophia? There's something going on between them!" Payne was trying to get Dorothy on the same page.

If it hadn't been for Colin's warning, he would have told her about the marriage.

Before the incident in the conference room, Payne had thought that Colin hated Sophia. Now, he wasn't so sure.

Listening carefully to Payne, Dorothy grit her teeth in anger.

The couple left SL, got into a car and headed to a hospital.

Sophia walked back to her desk. Looking at the reflection from her phone's display, she was shocked at the mess of makeup.

The ruins of her makeup looked horrible on her face.

She quickly cleaned her face before going back to her desk.

Sophia was completely absorbed by the events from the conference room. Considering that Dorothy had lied to her, she still had no idea who the killer was. She had been duped by Dorothy's show of kneeling.

Dorothy, go ahead and kneel to me. I'll watch as you bow ten times!' Sophia had thought to herself.

But... However, thinking back to all of the time spent working at SL company in Z Country, Dorothy suddenly had a feeling of great waste.

Would it be best for her to head back to A C

“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”

Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.

“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"

ou pretend to be my girlfriend?"

What? A party? Pretend to be your girlfriend?

"I… don't think that's a good idea." For starters, she was Colin's wife! Though in name only, it was a strange favor to ask.

Herring smiled, "Don't worry about Colin. He won't care, rest assured. He'll be there with his own date!"

What? Colin's going too? With a date?

"OK, I'll do it." Without further ado, she promised Herring.

Herring pulled the car to the entrance to a modeling company. He led Sophia to the third floor.

What Sophia saw shocked her.

It was a massive room, stuffed from corner to corner with evening dresses. There were thousands of dresses from every designer imaginable.

Herring took his time finding the perfect dress. After much effort he pulled out a red dress and handed it to Sophia. Though she disliked red, Sophia went to the dressing room to try it on.

When she emerged, Herring was sitting on a sofa reading a magazine.

Usually dressed in neutral colors, the red dress brought a new life and energy to Sophia.

Herring couldn't help himself and let out a low whistle. Sophia was a beautiful woman. She just had no idea how to dress herself up.

Likewise with her cheap makeup. If only she put a little effort into it, she could be a truly stunning woman. Herring felt a renewed interest in the marital affairs of Colin…
